Heroku to AWS Migration Services
Heroku to AWS Migration Services
Move off Heroku onto AWS, containers, managed databases, CI/CD, and a tested cutover plan. Delivered by our in-house team.
When you've outgrown Heroku
- Heroku costs have grown faster than expected at scale.
- You need more control over infrastructure than Heroku's platform allows.
- You need AWS-specific services that Heroku doesn't offer.
- You want a documented plan, not a risky, improvised move.
We plan the migration path before touching your production Heroku app.
What migration involves
Migration assessment
A review of your current Heroku setup, dynos, add-ons, and configuration, before planning the move.
Containerisation
Your app packaged into containers for ECS, EKS, or another AWS compute option.
Database migration
Move from Heroku Postgres (or other add-ons) to RDS or another managed AWS database.
CI/CD rebuild
Replace Heroku's build/deploy flow with a CI/CD pipeline suited to AWS.
DNS & cutover
A tested cutover plan, including DNS changes, with a rollback path.

Common reasons include cost at scale, wanting more infrastructure control, or needing AWS-specific services, we'll help you confirm it's the right move for your situation.
We plan every migration to minimise disruption, but we won't promise a guarantee we can't back up, the right approach depends on your specific setup.
